What to do when safari closes unexpectedly

Ive noticed that safari closes to my iPad home page or closes to where I need to unlock it, when I'm browsing images. It didn't use to do this.


iPad, iOS 5.1.1

There are a few things you might try:


1. Fully close Safari: Double tap your home button to bring up the Task Bar. With your finger hold it on any of the task bar apps until they all jiggle. You'll see a ➖ on the upper left side of each app. Tough the ➖ to fully close Safari (it's a good idea to routinely fully close apps when they are not being used.


2. Go to Settings > Safari and Clear Cookes and Data


3. Reboot your iPad: Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for about 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.


Hopefully, Safari will operate normally when your iPad comes back up.
